Does this require an entire alignment, or are just the tie rods adjusted somehow?
Leading evidence: 'Adjust somehow' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Adjust somehow' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I installed a new steering wheel (Raid 340 Race) and the alignment of top center was a little off. The centering band lined up with around the 5 on the tach when driving straight. So I reinstalled and moved the wheel one spline over the other direction (I think I only moved one spline over, but now I wonder if that would make that much of a change. It is difficult to tell.) Now the alignment is off center a bit the other way. Not quite as much, but still off. Is there another variable/adjustment somewhere that can be tweaked to line the wheel up to dead center? I don't see any adjustment in the hub or connection of the wheel to the hub.
Thanks, but can you elaborate? Does this require an entire alignment, or are just the tie rods adjusted somehow? Sorry, I'm not well versed in this area.
Yes, it will require the full front wheel alignment. Probably not the answer you want but I don't know other ways.
Basically they put a lock to center your steering wheel, then go to align the front wheels so they point straight (with toe-in of course).
Assuming your front wheels are properly aligned to start, you may not need to re-align if you're careful with your adjustment(s). Just mark your tie rod ends and make sure you turn each side in the same direction and the same amount and you should be ok.
I recently had a professional alignment on my 996 turbo X50. The car now pulls sligntly to the right. the steering wheel sits about 15 degrees
to the right. Right turn signal won't shut off unless steering wheel is over corrected to the left. Should I realign the steering wheel?
U should take it back to the place that did a "professional" alignment and have them fix the issue. If u have psm it will cause all kinds of issues with the traction control if the wheel is not centered with the psm sensor.
